Our view: This is a pretty cool new product. What I like most about it is that it utilizes existing technologies rather than having a specialized device. Also, the price is fabulously affordable compared to other devices...even if you have to buy an iPhone or an iTouch. One concern I have heard is whether or not it will be hard for people who have difficulty with fine motor control, but even considering that it's a really interesting new product.
